Empanada





It might not look like much but this is my very first home made 'Empanada' - my new Spanish love.

Inside the pastry there's all sorts of delicious flavours... tomatoes, tuna, green olives stuffed with pimento, onions, hard boiled egg and parsley.

It's moist, it flavoursome, it's simply delightful for lunch served with some fresh spinach and a drizzle of balsamic syrup.

I hear that out in the villages they make it with chorizo... I intend to send my companera out to get me some.

Yes sir.



Oh and while we're discussing food... is it ok to dip your Twix in peanut butter when the shop has run out of Snickers?

  1. Hello chorizo you make every dish a treat.

    Twix's in peanut butter? That made me throw up in my mouth a little. But also laugh.

    this is the recipe but it's not the same... you use empanada pastry, which I don't know how that translates into English. It's still nice with puff though... plus, I use green olives stuffed with pimento and a couple of splashes of chopped tomatoes cuz I'm lazy.

    Enjoy! xxx
